Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 01/20/2024 08:32 am Seems like this question has been the subject of much study over the years. Here is a link to one paper which concludes that has to do with restoring the weight standard on coins: https://www.e-periodica.ch/cntmng Hopefully one of our Roman experts can weigh in as well.
